Wonderful Weekend







The first wonderful part of my weekend was having my son come home from college for the summer. He turned 20 on Sunday. No matter how old my boys get, I still don't like it when they are away from home!! The other great part of my weekend was the shopping. I hit garage sales and flea markets and shopped til I dropped. I don't usually find so much in one weekend, but I did make the haul this time!! I found some amazing things for both my home and my shop. Some of my favorite finds are the white garden bench that I will paint black to match my shutters. I have been wanting a garden bench to sit under the big tree in our front yard, and this one was just $8.00. You won't recognize it after I paint and seal it. Other favorite finds are the two primitive shelves I got. They are both primitively perfect - no work needed. The black one on the left has three working drawers. The one on the right is two pieces. The piece on top is a peg rack - the pegs are square nails. The piece on bottom hangs from the peg piece by leather straps. It is done in a deep prim brown color. The antique spindle back child's chair is amazing. It has dry worn brown paint. I even found the prim doll that is sitting on the chair for just $1.00. The tiny size school desk will fit in my shop space perfectly. What a great weekend, enjoy the photos!
